We thank God for an opportunity of a lifetime that has enabled us to experience and learn from the history, culture, political environment, social environment, investment and business opportunities and aspirations of the Youth in all the ten sub regions of Uganda. This has been a great journey of interconnectedness from our history, innovations revealed by our technologies, timeless norms and beliefs, appreciating gifted hands of the region, nourishing cuisines and the beauty in the regions.
We recognize the countless efforts of our entire network that have made this possible. We pride in the beautiful region stories, region curriculum and the region museum and craft center.
The year 2024 will leverage our region experience, knowledge and potential. Our focus is on three major deliverables:
1. Strengthening the cottage industries as an engine of growth
2. Ceasing the beauty and potential of the regions through agritourism
3. More foot soldiers to boast Youth Led region transformation.
